On Black History, Black Panthers, Education, And A Minnesota Republican
A few weeks back in the midst of Black History Month, a poem was read over the public address system at East Ridge High School in Woodbury, Minnesota. The poem, “A Black Child’s Pledge,” was first published by the Black Panthers in 1968. Well, this prompted vice-chair of the Minnesota Republican Party, Kelly Fenton to take to twitter and the local newspaper to express her outrage that our schools were learning about all aspects of black history and demanding we only study those black people acceptable to her and perhaps other white people: Not long after the poem was read, Twitter comments began bubbling up from Woodbury community members, including Kelly Fenton, whose son attends East Ridge. “There are lot better examples and things that … Continue reading

My Thoughts On The Minnesota Social Studies Standards And The REAL Outrage…
[WARNING: It's really long but I hope you will stay to the end!] It’s time once again to fight about social studies standards for Minnesota schools. To have arguments about how much or how little patriotism these standards contain. To be outraged that this person/group/event isn’t mentioned or that person/group/event isn’t mentioned enough or the even pettier argument comparing the number of mentions of this vs. that. It’s time once again for the most tiresome arguments and accusations of INDOCTRINATION to be hurled around, including a particularly hyperbolic statement made by conservative jack of all trades Mitch Berg (who appears to be claiming some expertise in education policy because he has family members who are educators and that makes him a dynasty or something), who … Continue reading
With Election Behind Us, A Return To Normalcy OR Let’s Get Back To Saving My Conservative Friends Government Job!
Thank GOD, now that the election is firmly behind us noted higher education expert Gary Gross and his also notably unbiased conservative political blog can get back to brow beating MNSCU and St. Cloud State University for daring to cut their budgets! That isn’t speculation. That will be reality within the next 5-7 years. President Potter and Chancellor Rosenstone have the ability to change that by rescinding the decision to cancel the Aviation program at SCSU. It’s without question that SCSU can’t produce all of the graduates it’ll take to replace the soon-to-be-retiring pilots. Still, they’re capable of being a significant part of the solution. When oh when will these damn leaders of higher education finally LISTEN to an unemployed conservative blogger who thinks government … Continue reading
